I have been in a couple deserts camping the last few days. Here are the images.

Yours truly in Dixie National Forest New Year's Eve. Got my fireworks already going.


Got there early enough to do some bicycling and saw some pretty sweet stuff.







Decided to play with some slow shutter speeds at Leeds Creek.





Took some water from Leeds.



Campsite for the first night.



Close up of red Cliff.

Somewhere in the Mojave.

The 6.5 Reg. isn't the best chopper, but it got the job done. It was 60F when I go to the campsite, but I knew the high desert gets cold quick, so I gathered a lot of wood for the night so I could enjoy the clear skies in comfort. It ended up hitting 12F that night.

P.S. Dan. I have copy written the name "Feral Dog." You are welcome to use it for a future knife design's name, but I require a royalty of one of said knives. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Thx J. Envy you brother. I was there in spirit.
And Happy New Year

Looks like you had a peaceful relaxing quiet place to camp JJ. How many nights did you spend camping out before you got to 29 palms?

2. The night before was a simple side of the road job in a nothing to see here type of area.

I have two places in mind for the trip home. Opposite direction, so I can pick just one. Grand Canyon or the Sequoia Forest. Both are a little out of the way in either direction, but both are worth it.

^^ I've seen a few of those type of areas.

Hum... I've been to the Grand Canyon, nice scenery. Never heard anything about the other one.

Maybe try and find out which one has the LEAST amount of visitors this time of the year and go here for some peace and quite after the "Big city".

I am thinking both will have empty areas this time of year. I have been to the Canyons before, but the Redwoods I haven't seen yet.

Might as well see something new.

And this will be in something like March, right?
